Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao’s Story and Romance

 Kokuto:

LMAO! Man, someone REALLY hates Jing. Tong Hua doesn't give him a wedding night, and whoever came up with this epilogue doesn't even give him a lay, but gives him a cuckoo!

There's your happy ending, Jingers. LOL! Just remember, it's not a tragedy. ;ppp

This lack of a wedding night is going to haunt Jing for the rest of his life :-). I did wonder if one of you ladies from the other thread wrote this bit of the "epilogue". Sounds like something a YaoLiu would write ;-)

 Kokuto:

You know, some us joke about how useless Jing is, but Hong Jiang, takes that prize. What a goober.

Who's joking about Jing being useless?? Not me!

With regard to Hong Jiang, I'm not sure if that was actually how he died in the myth - so maybe whoever came up with these details just took it from there. Don't quote me on that, though.

 MengXiang:

The whole book TTEOM is full of very problematic behaviors. Don't read it.

It's highly unlikely that I'll read it. The drama itself was a hot mess. There was some potential, but it went off the rail right-quick. The second half was unwatchable.

In the legend, Gong Gong committed suicide by smashing his head against Buzhou mountain

Thanks for that information. I thought I read about it somewhere, but wasn't certain.

Sounds like an Anti to me.  I mean, OUCH.

The non-wedding night will definitely be remembered for the rest of my life. lol!

Good morning folks!

I’m sharing this here as well in case you haven’t seen it yet.

I also heard that she planned to write a sequel book after LYF. She wrote some already. But then she abandoned that

Interesting to hear about the sequel. I liked the ending of the novel; I thought it was beautifully tragic and memorable. However, after reading the author's interviews, where she expressed that love is not everything and there are other things that make living worthwhile, I was confused about the novel's ending. To me, it sounded like the author meant the tale to be empowering. However, as many people mentioned in this thread, even if XY left ZX at the end, she did not truly overcome her fears and other issues. She still left with TSJ, with whom she had a codependent relationship. There was much foreshadowing of her relationship with TSJ, and I personally felt that the author was deliberate in portraying the relationship between XY and TSJ as not so healthy. From my perspective, the relationship between XY and TSJ felt more like a cautionary tale. So, I was wondering if the empowering type of ending she meant was actually for XL, for whom love was not everything, and who stayed true to his ideals.

For XY's ending, I felt that it is possible that she grows to love TSJ through their long, shared companionship, works through their issues, and then ultimately develops a healthy relationship like someone had mentioned. However, I also thought that it is possible that XY ultimately acknowledges her own issues, overcomes them, and leaves on her own to roam the wilderness alone. If that is the case, maybe there is a story for a sequel where she tries to resurrect XL. I read one such fanfic which I enjoyed.

~Favor Mortal Fireworks~

Woooah, I'm really surprised, why Yaojing claims this song as theirs.its Funny..

 Elise:

First, they're claiming that song XY sang as only theirs and now they're claiming Favor Mortal Fireworks as theirs too. That's funny alright :)

No one can deny it was Xiang Liu who heard her singing first.

And Favor Mortal Fireworks was playing during their ocean scene :)

Yang Zi and Tan Jianci sang it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCmezspb1Ik

Lol the insecurity is reaching new levels.

P.S. that departure…dang it. Dude is hot even when disappearing lmao
